On January 24, 2016, the X Files are coming back to TV for a short mini-series. If you're anything like me, I bet you missed seeing the original episodes that aired between 1993 and 2002. I was just too busy with school and being married and all that jazz.
So, a few months ago, I decided to start watching all the episodes so I'd be all caught up and ready for the upcoming mini-series. And wouldn't you know it? It's not going too well. As of a couple of weeks ago, I was in the middle of Season 3, and I realized: If I watched one episode a day (which I can't), I still wouldn't be finished in time.
Dang!
But all is not lost. It didn't take long for me to realize that most of the episodes are "monster of the week" rather than "mythology" based. I was getting frustrated. I thought, "Can't I just watch the episodes that matter and skip all the fillers?"
Well, some people have put together lists. This list is my favorite. It not only lists "key" mythology episodes, but also throws in a few really good episodes. It's less than half of what I have left to watch.
So now I'm back on schedule. I've been trying it out for a week. It's less filling, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything much. Plus, I'm going to be ready!
Go, Mulder and Scully! (I still think their names are hilarious.)
